Sexual Harassment  

Most employers, managers and supervisors are conscientious and want to make sure they treat their employees appropriately. However, sometimes these people wrongfully try to use their position of authority for their own sexual gain. Working can be stressful enough without having to deal with the sexual advances, comments or suggestions of an employer, supervisor, manager, boss or co-employee.

When someone at work says something sexually inappropriate and/or touches you where they shouldn’t without your consent, you should promptly make a written report of such conduct to your manager or direct supervisor so that a “paper trail” of the offender’s activity can be tracked. If the offender is your manager or supervisor, then you should make a report to that person’s superior. If you have no one to report such behavior to, please call us so that we can evaluate your situation.

If you have reported such behavior and nothing was done and the sexually offensive behavior and comments have not stopped, call us to discuss your situation and see whether you have a legal claim. Don't delay, because the law requires you to take action within a certain amount of time.
